Lousy source (apparent 9/11 truther) with some BS, but linked stories, and quite a perspective setter nonetheless.
quote:

Why Don't Reporters Care Who Killed The DNC's Seth Rich?
Here's a story that would seem ripe for media bloodhounds to pursue. A disgruntled insider may have leaked damaging information about his employers, and was later murdered on his way home by two unidentified assailants. Put President Trump's name somewhere in the mix and it would be the latest scandal-to-end-all-scandals, capturing wall-to-wall coverage, eliciting new calls for independent prosecutors and impeachment, and probably making Jimmy Kimmel cry again. But since the person involved worked for the Democratic National Committee, it's being ignored by everyone in the press except a cadre of conservative reporters.

The Media Is Ignoring The DNC Lawsuit — Here's Why.
The Democratic National Committee is being sued by a group of Bernie Sanders supporters. Yet the national media is completely ignoring the story. The

Media Blackout On The DNC Lawsuit Proves That It Is Nuclear.
I had the privilege of interviewing my newest personal hero yesterday, attorney Elizabeth Lee Beck, about her legal team's fraud case against the Democratic National Committee. One of the many useful insights that this straight-shooting mom on fire brought to light during our conversation was her story about a time she reached out to New York Times reporter Michael Barbaro to get some help cracking through the deep, dark media blackout on this extremely important case. [...] This lawsuit is one of the most significant anti-establishment phenomena happening in America today, and the more life you give it, the more power it will have.

Student editor fired for reporting unapproved truth.
National Review Online got the scoop of the original article on this event from graduate student Andy Ngo, who, until days ago, was the multimedia editor of the Portland State University Vanguard. NRO chose the stark headline "Fired for Reporting the Truth." And that's a nice editorial decision, focused on the point that Andy Ngo was merely, in fact, reporting the truth. No more, no less.

Thousands Flee Chicago For Safer Areas Of The Country As America's Third Largest City Becomes A Gang-Infested Wasteland.
Of course we aren't supposed to talk about the fact that this is quietly happening in communities all over America. This is one of the reasons why there is such a disparity in real estate prices these days. The wealthy are willing to pay a substantial premium to live with other wealthy people in areas that are far away from all the violence. [...] Would you want to raise your children in an area where this was going on? Thanks to decades of open borders and unrestrained illegal immigration, gang membership has been absolutely soaring in major cities such as Chicago. Five years ago the Chicago Crime Commission estimated that there were 150,000 gang members living in the metropolitan area, and by this point that number is certainly far higher.

Soros-Funded Groups Behind Anti-Trump Corporate Targeting Campaign.
The groups leading a campaign targeting corporations that may benefit from Trump administration policies have received millions from liberal billionaire George Soros. The Center for Popular Democracy (CPD), a New York-based nonprofit consisting of old chapters of the controversial and now-defunct Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), and Make the Road New York (MRNY), a group whose 19,000 dues-paying members are primarily Latino immigrants, have partnered to "name and shame" companies the groups say are working with Trump or "profiting" from his "anti-immigrant, anti-worker" platform, Time magazine first reported.

What Caused Venezuela's Collapse Is No Mystery — Except To Economically Illiterate Journalists.
When the New York Times wrote about Venezuela's ongoing collapse a year ago, it described how the country was suffering "painful shortages ... even of basic foods," and how "electricity and water are being rationed, and huge areas of the country have spent months with little of either." Here is how the Times explained the reason for Venezuela's dire situation: "The growing economic crisis (was) fueled by low prices for oil, the country's main export; a drought that has crippled Venezuela's ability to generate hydroelectric power; and a long decline in manufacturing and agricultural production." There's no mention — not one — of the fact that Hugo Chávez tried to turn Venezuela into a socialist paradise, policies that his successor Nicolás Maduro has continued. The Times' coverage is par for the course.

Continued here -- It's a long list

The Seth Rich conspiracy shows how fake news still works
quote:

Nearly one year later, Rich's death remains one of America's thousands of unsolved murders — and the focus of endless conspiracy theories, spread this past week by Fox News, alt-right social media, a local D.C. news station and the Russian embassy in Britain. The reemergence of the conspiracy theory this week, which did not lack for real news, revealed plenty about the fake news ecosystem (or to use BuzzFeed's useful phrase, “the upside-down media”) in the Trump era. It also happened to cause untold pain for the Rich family, which has sent a cease-and-desist letter to the so-called private investigator who led this dive back into the fever swamp.

Most on this board get the media wrong. It's not fake, it's just focuse on sustaining the narratives it supports. Its a business, even though the media industry doesnt like to point this out, and it's current model is focused on gaining subscriptions mostly from urbanites. So it builds narratives around subjects that liberal city dwellers support, and suppresses news that would upset them. Reporters largely lean left, abd are trying to virtual signal to other reporters and the public that they are liberal, just like their paying customers.

Was the Rich family intimidated by a DNC Staffer when they hired a private investigator? Yes or no? If so, why?

Probably not. What I do know is that a grieving family is being openly harrassed by hundreds of alt right minions and thousands of brainless followers like you. If this board had any respect it would ban anyone who posts the thoroughly debunked conspiracy theories on Seth Rich.

There have been instances where these "anonymous sources" say shite then the very next day it's debunked by named officials

So, there are most definitely times where it was fake

You're getting cucked, dumb arse. You are literally being mislead by fake news. You are a victim of Russia's attempts to influence global politics. You're falling for it; hook, line and sinker.

"Fake News" by its very definition is when an editorial is presented as fact.

You've really lost it man. Much of the stuff on russia is fake, and you don't see it. Russia didn't hack the election, collusion with russia isn't even a crime. At this point no one can even define what collusion means.

This.

It is not what they report. It is what they deliberately decide not to report. Rather than give you a full picture, they choose to emphasize those storylines that support their narrative. We are being failed by our biased MSM (to include FNC). MiniTrue is upon us.

Link? Obama has said on numerous occasions that no voting machines were tampered and no votes were altered. You have fallen for fake news.

Washington Post. The "news" agency that published four fake stories in one week and refused to retract any of them.

Recent fake news from WaPo:

1) WaPo named anonymous sources who said Rosenstein threatened to quit. Problem is that Rosenstein went on TV and said it never happened. Crickets from WaPo.

2) WaPo reported that Comey asked for more funds to investigate Russia. Problem is that deputy director McCabe testified under oath that no such request was made and he had not seen anyone interfering with the investigation. Crickets from WaPo (story is still up).

3) WaPo reported that Sen. McCarthy said "Russia pays Trump." Read the transcript and there is laughter among him and his colleagues. But who recorded the conversation? Oh that's right, never Trumper (and former CIA officer) Evan McMullin. WaPo never said who the source was, but it's now known it was McMullin. Furthermore, McMullin has never explained why he was walking around recording private conversations of Congressmen.

4) WaPo claimed Trump leaked classified info to Russians. First of all, it is perfectly legal for him to do this, and secondly, everyone in the room said it didn't happen. McMaster said no sources were outed. Israel released a statement that basically said "so what?" and "we will continue our intel sharing."

K. More or less what I expected.

Carry on.
